Chapter Thirty-Three

Spencer and Ashley were getting ready to go to the pool at Ashley’s mother Christine’s mansion. She was putting suntan lotion, towels, as a change of clothes in a blue bag. Ashley was wearing a pair of dark shades as well as green tank top. Underneath her tank top, she wore a Camo bathing suit and white shorts. Spencer was wearing a pair of blue shades as well as a green tank top and underneath the tank top, she was wearing a blue bathing suit and khaki shorts.

Ashley looked at Spencer with a smile. “Are you ready to go, gorgeous?” Spencer smiled and leaned in to kiss Ashley sweetly. She put her arms around Ashley’s waist. Ashley cupped Spencer’s cheeks and sucked on Spencer’s bottom lip. Spencer pulled back from the kiss.

Ashley took Spencer by her hand and they walked together out of Spencer’s house. She put her arm around Spencer’s waist and Spencer put her arm around Ashley’s shoulder. Ashley opened the passenger side of the Porsche for Spencer. “Thank you, Ash.”

“You’re welcome, babe.” Ashley kissed Spencer sweetly and then Spencer went in the car. She went in the driver’s seat and drove away to Christine’s mansion ready to enjoy their day at the pool.

Spencer and Ashley were at the outdoor pool on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The pool was medium sized and Kyla was in the pool floating on her back. Suddenly Ashley started splashing Kyla causing Kyla to go after Ashley. Spencer sat by the edge of the pool amused watching them carry-on like children. Ashley gestured for Spencer to join her in the water, but she shook her head no. “The water’s not that cold, babe.” Ashley gave Spencer an innocent smile and Spencer looked unconvinced.

Spencer furrowed her eyebrows. “I beg to differ. Why in the world is Kyla leaving the pool if the water is not that cold?” Spencer pointed at Kyla who was putting a towel over herself and shivering looked back at her girlfriend with a ‘What did I tell you look.’ Ashley chuckled.

“It’s because she’s like an icebox!” Kyla looked unamused at Ashley’s joke and left the pool.

“You’ve done better, Ash. I’ll give that a six.” Kyla went into the mansion to change back into her regular clothes. Ashley had an idea and Spencer looked at her girlfriend in question. She pulled Spencer into the pool with her. Spencer screamed since Ashley surprised her by dragging her into the pool and Ashley laughed. She began to shiver due to the icy water. Ashley wrapped her arms around Spencer in order to warm her up. “Are you feeling better or are you still cold?” Spencer was still shivering and her teeth were chattering.

“Y-you sooo lied about the water. I’m so going to get you for that.” Ashley splashed some water towards Spencer. Spencer splashed more water towards Ashley and tried to dunk Ashley underwater, however failed since Ashley moved away from Spencer. They were chasing each other around in the pool enjoying the day.

Ashley, Kyla, and Spencer were having dinner at a diner. “Sis, I… I have something to tell you. I-it’s kinda important.” Spencer took this as her cue to get up and leave in order to give them some privacy. “You could stay since you are part of the Davies/Woods clan.” Spencer sat back down.

“What’s going on, Ky?” Ashley took a sip of her coca-cola.

“My Mom wants me to move back home to Baltimore when the summer’s over.” Ashley and Spencer looked at one another stunned.

“Is there any way for you so stay in LA?” Spencer asked. Spencer knew how important Kyla was in Ashley’s life. Even though Kyla and Ashley didn’t start at the best of terms, Ashley had grown attached to her.

Kyla sighed at Spencer’s question. “There really isn’t a reason for me to stay here, Spencer. Ashley is living with you and the Carlins. I’m stuck alone in this mansion since Christine is MIA eighty percent of the time.”

“Kyla, you know that Christine doesn’t want me here and the only reason I’m here right now is since she’s out of town doing only God knows what. She disowned me because she can’t accept who I am.”

“You’re more than welcome to hang out with Ashley and me at my house.”

“That’s really nice of you, Spencer, but you two have lives of your own. I don’t want to get in your way and be a third wheel. Whom do I have? Do you get my drift?”

“Totally, Ky. Consider us your matchmakers, little sister.” Ashley ruffled Kyla’s wavy brown hair.
